El hombre es esencialmente un ser espiritual; eso significa que su existencia no termina el día que sea desprendido del cuerpo mortal que lo retiene en esta tierra. Pero el caso es que el hombre hereda una muerte espiritual desde su concepción; y así nace, muerto en sus delitos y pecados. Afortunadamente, Dios hizo la provisión a fin de resolver ese problema, que el hombre era incapaz de solucionar. Dios envió a su Hijo, al Señor Jesucristo, a que pagara el precio de la muerte en la cruz del Calvario; y una vez justificado, el hombre estuviera en paz con la justicia de Dios y fuera ...

When did the simple Good News get so complicated? At first glance the Gospel seems straightforward: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.” Simple, right? Then you start asking questions: Do you need to believe particular things about Jesus to be saved? If so, what things? Do you need to live in a particular way? If so, how exactly? Do you need to do good works and avoid specific sins? And if so, what kind of works and which sins? Are the demands the same for everybody everywhere or do they change over time, place, and person? And why isn’t any of this clearer? ...

Every Christmas, we celebrate the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of the world. But few have ever captured the profound implications of Christ’s birth like the ancient church father, Athanasius.

What does human suffering have to do with God's power and love? Everyone has a "Gethsemane," a place and time in our lives when we face sorrow on the deepest level. To help us understand the relationship and interaction between human suffering and God's power and love, author Leslie Montgomery looks at the details of Jesus' example to show how valuable lessons can be learned through suffering.

What if everything you’ve been told about salvation is wrong? For nearly a thousand years Christians have been hearing and repeating a story about why Jesus died on the cross. It’s the only story of salvation most of them have ever heard. And it’s wrong. The Bible doesn’t have that story and the early Christians never heard that story - they never believed it. In Salvation (and how we got it wrong), Kenneth Myers revisits the story of our salvation, retelling it like the early Christians told it. No longer a tale of an angry God punishing his Son in payment for crimes against his ...

Casi todos conocemos este dicho: “Solo se vive una vez”. Pero tenemos que formularnos la pregunta más importante: ¿Qué sucede con nosotros después de que morimos? Ahora mismo tal vez estés muriendo de sed, pero no tienes por qué hacerlo. Del mismo modo, quizá el pecado te abrume, pero no tienes por qué morir en tus pecados. Hay algo que puedes hacer ahora mismo, para asegurar que cuando mueras tengas vida eterna y felicidad.

This book discusses one of the most important set of verses in one of the most important chapters in one of the most important books of the Bible. The whole doctrine about being born again is based upon a conversation that Jesus had had with a Pharisee named Nicodemus. From that conversation, one can easily see the analogy between the brass serpent on a pole in the Old Testament and Jesus on the cross at Calvary. That analogy makes it clear that Jesus is the only way of salvation. People may try whatever they like. But John 14:6 says that no one comes to the Father except by the Son. All of...

The Apostle Paul writes the Book of Romans as a legal document to justify the believer's freedom. Free by Divine Decree takes you inside the court room to witness how the case for your freedom was argued and decided. The final verdict from the Supreme Judge is that "in Christ" you are righteous not by achieving but by believing. The truth in this audiobook will set you free - free indeed. No further appeal! Your freedom is not a feeling it is a fact. The Verdict Is In: Condemnation is OUT.

How do I know I have been forgiven? What if I am not perfect? Does God forgive terrible things I have done to others? What if I keep sinning? Is there forgiveness for my addictions? Is there an unforgivable sin? How can I forgive myself? As Christians, we think we know everything about God, sin, and salvation. You may be surprised to find that some of the things you have learned all your life may not be entirely right. It may be time to challenge your old ideas about what the Lord can do for you. The Biblical teachings about God’s love and forgiveness are much better than imagined. You ...

“Instintivamente no colocamos a Cristo en la misma clase con otras personas. Cuando uno encuentra su nombre en una lista que comienza con Confucio y termina con Goethe, sentimos que se trata de una ofensa a la ortodoxia tanto como a la decencia. Jesús no pertenece al grupo de los grandes de la historia. Que se hable de Alejandro el Grande, de Carlos el Grande, de Napoleón el Grande... Jesús está aparte. El no es Grande: es Único. Es sencillamente Jesús. Nada puede añadirse a este nombre... El desafía todo análisis. Confunde todos los cánones de la naturaleza humana. Obliga a ...

Why did Jesus die? Did Jesus die so that God could forgive us for our sins? Many believe so. The most ancient view of the atonement teaches that Jesus did not die to appease the wrath of God or gain forgiveness for human sin, but rather to defeat sin, death, and the devil, and reveal to us the unconditional love and grace of God.

When most people think about a true love story, they naturally envision a couple jumping into a bed and making mad passionate love to each other. If the scene is from a movie or from a television show, then they would probably see the two going into a bedroom together and then waking up the next day lying next to each other. However, while that in many cases might be an example of true love, it pales in comparison to the true love that God the Father had showed to human beings when He had offered His only begotten Son on the cross of Calvary. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, ...

Some people might think that Easter is about family get-togethers and the Easter Bunny. It is not. Therefore, this text, while focusing primarily on the prophecies of the Prophet Isaiah and especially on those that explain why Jesus was crucified, also discusses prophecies written by other Old Testament prophets. In the first three parts of this text, nine passages from the book of Isaiah will be examined leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. Those passages are Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 64:6-7, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 42:1-7, Isaiah 41:27-29, Isaiah 61:1-3, Isaiah 50:4-9, and Isaiah ...
